PART A

TEXT:
[Bodhigu]tasa d[ā]naṁ

TRANSLATION:
The gift of Bodhiguta (Bodhigupta)^[1].

A 100 (874)^[2]; PLATE XIII

RAIL inscription, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. Edited by Cunningham, StBh. (1879), p. 142, No. 59, and Pl. XXXI and LVI; Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 75, No. 149, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 238, No. 149; Cunningham, Mahābodhi (1892), Pl. V (Pl. only); Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 32, No. 108.

TEXT:
Seriyā^[3] putasa Bhāranidevasa dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The gift of Bhāranideva (Bharaṇīdeva)^[4], the son of Serī^[^5] (sri).

The earlier editors read Seriyāputa as a compound, but as Seriyā is clearly a genitive sg. of Siri (śrī) we prefer to separate the two words. Barua-Sinha take Seriyāputa as a place-name and translate ‘from Śriputra’. The words indicating the places of origin of the donors, however, are always put in the ablative, and in the genitive only, when a derivative in –ka (-ikā) or –iya is formed from them.

A 101 (847); PLATE XIII

ON a rail-bar, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. Edited by Hultzsch, ɀDMG., Vol. XL (1886), p. 73, No. 127, and Pl., and IA., Vol. XXI (1892), p. 237, No. 127; Barua-Sinha, BI. (1926), p. 23, No. 82.

TEXT:
Mitasa^[6] suchi dānaṁ

TRANSLATION:
The rail-bar (is) the gift of Mita (Mitra)^[7].

The inscription was wrongly identified by Hultzsch with No. A 111.

A 102 (827); PLATE XIV

ON a rail-bar of the Southern gate, now in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (C.B. 10).

^[1]See classification I, 1, a (Buddhist names).
^[2]Lüders’ treatment of this inscription is missing.
^[3]The e-mark of se is quite distinct, but the estampage shows also a trace of an i-mark. Did the writer add this i-mark as a correction? The change of i to e is observed only in Kosabeyekā in No. A 52, where Lüders is inclined to correct the reading of Cunningham’s eye-copy to Kosabeyikā.
^[4]See classification I, 2, A, b (names derived from constellations).
^[5]See classification I, 4, b, 3 (names derived from minor deities).
^[6]The reading Mitrasa seems possible, the right limb of the ta being elongated.
^[7]See classification I, 3, a (names referring to vedic deities).
